Happy Birthday LEE!

This is a tribute to my husband, Lee.

A few things about Lee that are so cool  . . . In my opinion!

1.  I love it that Lee gets excited about home fix-it projects and is eager to ask, "Ok, what is the proriety project for me when I get home?" 
First of all I love this because this reminds me of my dad.  He was always so handy and came up with the coolest projects, Lee and my dad often worked together in the garage.

2.  I love it that Lee is so passionate about football.  Ok at times it's annoying but I do just love to see him get really excited about a good play or predict what the coach is going to do and when the coach instructs the team to do just that, I am amazed.  It's also really cool that when his team is screwing up he doesn't get mad or shout or throw things.

3.  I love it that Lee thinks camping is the greatest getaway possible.  It's not on my top 5 list of things to do, but I do like it occassionally.  But the reason why I love that he loves it - is because he tells and retells of the times when his family went camping as a kid.  Lee loves to do all the "work" of camping; build and keep the fire going, pitch all the tents, get up early to make the coffee, set up the lanterns and get to know the neighboring campers.   I think a camp loving guy is very attractive.  Wow, I think I'm getting the itch to go camping!

4.  I love it that Lee details out my car and gets me gas whenever I'm low.  He doesn't pay anyone to detail the car, he does it himself.  It can be pretty scary with the two ravenous racoons in the backseat.

5.  I love it that Lee holds my hand at church when he is particularly moved by a song or a point in the sermon.

6.  I love that Lee suggests for me to have date nights with the girls!

7.  I love it that Lee gets really excited about getting an occasional vanilla milkshake.  I mean like really excited, like little boy excited!

8.  I love it that Lee never complains no matter how bad my cooking may be.  I usaully say, "This isn't very good! Sorry, I thought this receipe would be better.  Isn't this terrible?"  Then he'll say, "It's not that bad, just a little bland". 

9.  I love it when Allie snuggles up to Lee and Lee can get right on her level and enjoy the moment just as much as she does.

10.  I love it that Cooper wants to be just like Lee and would rather hang out with Dad digging a hole or just about anything else than doing something really fun with me.

11.  I think it's funny when Lee says, "ok what do you want me to wear tonight?" (when we're going somewhere he's not sure of) and I love it that Lee saves the sexy jeans for special dates with me!

12.  I love it that Lee tries to fix things that he thinks he can fix and calls to hire an expert when a project is out of his league!

13.  I love that Lee is frugal and gets excited about a bargin but is not a cheap-skate!

14.  I love that Lee feels like we should sell the children some days too!

15.  I love that Lee is the social one, sometimes it's a lot of work for me to be friendly.  He's always comfortable in a room of strangers and always finds someone to talk to.

16.  I love that Lee enjoys a good beer and can relax!

17.  I love that Lee has always entertained my wild idea's (for a few moments anyway).

18.  I love it that Lee truly puts my happiness above his own  (yeah, quite amazing and humbling-I'm still working on this one)!

19.  I love it that Lee can usaully figure mosst mathmatically errors, and the computer screw-ups and logical logistics that are not logical to me and then he explains them to me without making me feel like a goof.

20. I love it that Lee loves his job and would rather work hard than hardly work.

There are so many more I could write but I thought I should stop at 20.
